I've never uninstalled a browser plugin so quickly. It really is just what you think it is: a 2001-era search toolbar, except without the useful list of search results. Just thumbnails that tell you nothing about the result.

The advertisement is a bit of an overkill. I wish there was more text on the main page to tell me exactly what it is. The advertisement showed me a dude punching websites.

Yes, I couldn't figure out why he wants to break websites! One does not simply break the things that help him.

When I worked at ask Jeeves, we thought a browser toolbar was how we were going to beat google, too. In 2001.

So it's a new toolbar? Just what decade is Yahoo! living in? Edit: What strikes me is how this is being billed: "A Chrome killer" and even the demo and ad spot use the phrasing "new browser": however this is not a browser. It may be a /browsing experience/ perhaps but it certainly doesn't stand to compete with Chrome mano-a-mano. Clearly the true target is search. But even then: has the world been waiting breathlessl…

"Chrome Killer" was just hyperbolic reporting. It doesn't look like Yahoo is billing this product as this.
